The Tag-It! application lets you
send informal messages to other people. The Tag-It! window looks
similar to an online version of a Post-It note. The messages are
displayed as yellow popup notes. If you want to create longer and
more formal messages, you should use the Z-Mail™ Pro application.
You log into Tag-It! the same way you do in
Phone Tag and Z-Mail™ Pro because Tag-It! uses the Z-Mail™
Pro SMTP send mechanism. Tag-It! messages you receive are automatically
opened by Z-Mail™ Pro.
Note: Unlike Z-Mail™Pro and Phone Tag messages, you cannot save or
print Tag-It! messages.
Sending Tag-It! Messages
You can easily send a Tag-It! message by taking
the following steps:
Start Tag-It! to display a Tag-It! window.
The window may include a title
bar and provides access to the Control menu if you have specified
Tag-It! to do so (as discussed in "Setting Preferences," later
in this chapter). If not, you can display the title bar and
make the Control menu accessible by double-clicking the window
or by pressing ESC.
Note: To access
the Control menu, you should first make the title bar available
by double-clicking on the Tag-It! window or by pressing the
ESC key. Then press ALT+spacebar to display the Control Menu
or click on the small box in the upper left corner of the window
(the Windows Control Menu icon).
The window also includes toolbar
buttons for the Send, Address, Close, and Minimize functions.
Specify to whom you want to send your message.
To do so, perform either of the following operations:
Type the e-mail address of each user
in the To: field. Separate addresses with a comma (,).
Display the Address Book either by choosing
the Address button from the toolbar, by choosing the Address
command from the Control menu, or by pressing Ctrl+A. After
Tag-It! opens the Address Book, select a name and then choose
the To button. Continue selecting names and choosing the To
button until you specify all the users to whom you want to
send the message. Then choose the OK button.
The Address Book lists the addresses of
the users included in the Z-Mail™ Pro Address Book. For
additional information, see the chapter on Z-Mail™ Pro
in this manual.
Type your message in the window.
Either choose the Send button on the toolbar
or choose the Send command from the Control menu or press CTRL+S.
Forwarding Tag-It! Messages
After Z-Mail™ Pro opens a Tag-It! message
sent to you by another Tag-It! user, you can forward that message
to other users. To do so, take the following steps:
Choose the Forward button from the toolbar
or choose the Send command from the Control Menu or press CTRL+F.
The To: field is cleared, the From: field
automatically changes to your login username, and the Forward
button becomes the Send button.
Specify to whom you want to send your message.
To do so, perform either of the following operations:
Type the e-mail address of each user
in the To: field. Separate addresses with a comma.
Either choose the Address button from
the toolbar or choose the Address command from the Control
menu. After Tag-It! opens the Address Book, select a name
and then choose the To button. Continue selecting names and
choosing the To button until you specify all the users to
whom you want to send the message. Then, choose the OK button.
If you want to, type additional information
in the message you are forwarding.
Either choose the Send button on the toolbar
or choose the Send command from the Control menu, or press Ctrl+S.
To set up preferences for Tag-It!, take the
following steps:
Start Tag-It! to open a Tag-It! window.
Choose the Preferences option from the Control
menu.
Note: To access the Control
menu, you should first make the title bar available by double-clicking
on the Tag-It! window or by pressing ESC. Then press Alt+SPACEBAR
to display the Control Menu or click on the small box in the
upper left corner of the window (the Windows Control Menu icon).
Configure Tag-It! by performing one or more
of the following operations:
Select the Show Title check box if you
want Tag-It! to always display the title bar and make the
Control menu available upon startup.
Specify whether Tag-It! remains running
after a message is sent.
To close Tag-It! once a message is
sent, select the Close on send option.
To continue running Tag-It! but minimize
the window, select the Minimize on send option.
To continue running Tag-It! and leave
the window open, select the Stay on screen on send option.
Select the Minimize on receipt option
if you want any Tag-It! messages that you receive to be displayed
as minimized icons on your desktop.
Select the Beep on receipt option if
you want Tag-It! to emit a sound when you receive a Tag-It!
message. If you specify a .WAV file, the specified sound file
will be played. If you do not specify a .WAV file, a beep
will be emitted.
Select the Confirm exit option if you
want Tag-It! to display a prompt verifying whether you want
to exit Tag-It! This option is selected by default.
Note: If this option is
not selected, you may unintentionally press ALT+F4 and thereby
close the Tag-It! application without having a chance to read
a note that you have received. Therefore, it is recommended
that the Confirm on exit option be selected.
Choose the OK button.
Additional Online Information
The online help file for Tag-It! includes a description
of each menu command.
Troubleshooting
If you receive Tag-It! messages as regular mail
messages (instead of Tag-It! messages), refer to the following items:
Ensure that the Chameleon Z-Mail™ Pro
application is activated (can be minimized).
Ensure that tagit.exe is present in your
system.
Ensure that the directory containing the
Tag-It! application is in the DOS Path.
If the above items do not apply, Tag-It!
may not be able to start for some other reason, such as insufficient
memory. When Tag-It! is not available, any Tag-It! messages received
by you will be available in Z-Mail™ Pro instead.
